Context of Deuteronomy 28:8

6“Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out. 7“Adonai will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you. They will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. Adonai will command the blessing on you in your barns and in every undertaking of your hand, and He will bless you in the land Adonai your God is giving you. 9Adonai will establish you as a holy people for Himself, just as He swore to you—if you keep the mitzvot of Adonai your God and walk in His ways. 10Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Adonai and they will stand in awe of you.
